How Trump’s Tariffs Will Hit Healthcare

How Trump’s Tariffs Will Hit Healthcare

Abdul and Katelyn discuss the latest news in health and policy, including:


  • The third measles death this year - an 8-year-old girl in Texas
  • RFK Jr’s weak response to the measles outbreak
  • The impact of tariffs on healthcare and insurance prices
  • Why Medicare and Medicaid won’t expand access to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic
  • A federal ruling that restores funding to research labs for “indirect costs”


Then Abdul sits down with an old friend, Scott Hugo, who has been battling Long Covid for more than a year. Abdul and Scott discuss how his life has dramatically changed by this illness, and the fallout from the Trump Administration’s decision to cut Long Covid research.
